Stimulus Control Of Behavior

True or False



1

Generalization of both excitatory and inhibitory conditioning can occur.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
2

Generalization can be adaptive or maladaptive.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
3

Less generalization usually occurs the greater the similarity between the original CS and a second stimulus.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
4

A CS cannot serve as an occasion-setting stimulus.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
5

A Pavlovian occasion-setter can facilitate operant responding.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
6

Pavlovian-conditioned stimuli influence operant or instrumental behavior through their effects on the two central motivational states.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
7

In the Hull-Spence model of discrimination learning, excitation develops to both discriminative stimuli but is greater to the sΔ.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
8

Discrimination learning can occur without any error (that is, responding to the wrong stimulus).
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
9

A steep generalization gradient indicates responding to a wide range of stimuli.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
10

Discrimination training produces flatter generalization gradients than nondiscrimination training.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
11

In the peak-shift phenomenon, maximum responding occurs to a stimulus other than the sD and in the stimulus direction opposite the sΔ.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
12

There is only one central motivational state.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
13

Learning to differentiate S+ from other stimuli enhances generalization.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
14

Evidence indicates that the sΔ acquires aversive properties except in errorless discrimination learning.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
15

According to the noncontinuity position, discrimination learning proceeds slowly until excitation and inhibition are fully established.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
